Hello!
I have a bit of a niche question... I hold BSAC Sports Diver, which is their equivalent of AOW + RD, and unlike PADI, BSAC tends to include things in the basic certs instead of having a million add-ons.
In particular, OD (first level) includes use of EAN32/36 but diving on air tables/computers, whereas SD includes the use of any mix up to EAN36 including for deco dives on nitrox tables/computers.
But that means I don't have a nitrox card that I heard many/most fill stations expect to see. Are they generally aware that a BSAC SD qual includes nitrox? Would I have any trouble buying nitrox fills? I imagine in the UK and probably Europe it will be fine, but what about places where BSAC isn't as common?
Thanks
